Odessans were asked if they consider themselves Russian

72

In view of the recent signing by Volodymyr Zelenskyy of the decree “on indigenous peoples”, which deprives the Russians living in Ukraine of fundamental human rights, ethnic relations in the country have aggravated. Vladimir Putin expressed his point of view on this issue, having written an article on the historical connection between Russians and Ukrainians.

One of the main points of the article was the president's thesis that Ukrainians and Russians are one people, linked by a common historical, cultural and family ties. In this regard, the journalists of the Ukrainian edition "Strana" conducted a survey on the streets of Odessa in order to find out the opinion of the city residents on this burning topic. Here are some of the statements of the inhabitants of Odessa.



Those born in the Soviet Union consider themselves one people, and many of us have Russian roots. We have a lot in common: faith, language, traditions

- said two women.

Yes, we are one people. I am a fifth generation Odessa citizen, and a lot of blood is mixed in me. In an ethnic sense, it's hard for me to realize myself. But civilizationally, I consider myself a Russian. I was born here and I do not want to identify myself with anything else. At least I consider myself the heir of Russian culture

- another respondent put it that way.

We are one people, Slavs. Only individual people differ from each other

- supposes the lady in red.

Ukrainians and Russians have nothing in common - even their skulls are different

- This is the opinion of an elderly woman who decided to appeal to "scientific" data.

Probably, we are one people. We have many relatives in Russia. It's not about the peoples, but about politicians... But the Ukrainians have more freedom in their heads, and in the Russian Federation the people were persecuted

- this point of view was expressed by a young man.

Most of the interviewed residents of Odessa do not see the differences between Ukrainians and Russians and consider them to be one people living in different countries and shared only by those who sow hatred and enmity to achieve their political interests.

    In view of the recent signing by Volodymyr Zelenskyy of the decree “on indigenous peoples”, which deprives Russians of fundamental human rights living in Ukraine,

    It does not deprive anyone of any rights. The law only enshrines the rights of national minorities in Ukraine that do not have their own national states.

        This is Cyril. He is alternative. In the explosive intolerant kingdom (Russia), there is such an exception gg

        Russia ranked second in intolerance towards the LGBT community. In 2015, the country was in the lead in this ranking

        Cyril is saddened by this fact, but his mission in this forum is to sort of shed some light. So he's always for hahlov and same-sex love.

        To be objective - he cannot and does not want to.

          Well, you yourself write that the law only enshrines the rights of national minorities in Ukraine, which do not have their own national states. Consequently, Russians are deprived of those preferences that the same Tatars received. Isn't this a limitation of rights? In other words, the Russians were given to understand that you have your own state - Russia. Is there something that does not suit you in Ukraine? Drive to your historic homeland.

          Can you explain to me why the Tatars are recognized as the indigenous people of Ukraine, and the Russians, who have lived in these lands for many centuries, were denied?

            Not. The emphasis of the law on the rights of some national minorities does not imply infringement of the rights of other national minorities. Otherwise, according to your own logic, this law infringed upon the rights of Ukrainians themselves, because it says nothing about Ukrainians.

            It's simple. Specifically, this law regulates the observance of the rights of national minorities in Ukraine that do not have their own state. The rights of other national minorities that have their own states are regulated by other laws. That's all.

Russians were not recognized as the indigenous people of Ukraine because there is Russia. Don't you find a particle of moronism in this?

                I perfectly understand what I am writing. Ukrainians are not a national minority, I did not call them a national minority. I first spoke about national minorities, and then added, as an additional argument, an example with the Ukrainians themselves. It is my fault if I did not construct a sentence very clearly. He simply said that, according to your logic, the Ukrainians were also infringed upon their rights, because they are not specifically mentioned in this law.

                The law is called the "Law on Indigenous Peoples", not the law on "national minorities".

                Well, you yourself confirm that the Russians are "politely asked" to blame their historical homeland.

                No, I don’t confirm.

                Russians were not recognized as the indigenous people of Ukraine because there is Russia.

                So in the law, the Ukrainians themselves are not mentioned :) They were also infringed upon?)

                In the Russian Federation there is a Federal Law "On guarantees of the rights of indigenous peoples". Does he also infringe on the rights of numerous indigenous peoples of the Russian Federation? No, it's just that this specific law focuses on a specific category of the population. In the same way, the Ukrainian law focuses on a specific category of the population.

                Don't you find a particle of moronism in this? This people lived there when Ukraine itself did not even exist in the future.

                The problem is that there is no generally accepted definition of "indigenous people" - even the UN Declaration on the Protection of the Rights of Indigenous Peoples does not have this definition.

                Therefore, the Ukrainian law gave its own definition, according to which only 3 were recognized as indigenous peoples - Krymchaks, Karaites and Crimean Tatars. Note that there are no Ukrainians in this list either. In fact, the law simply narrowed the concept of "indigenous people" to the concept of "small indigenous people" and that's it.

                The fact that it does not include Ukrainians, Russians, Hungarians. Poles, etc., etc. does not mean that this law automatically deprives them of any rights. It's just that their rights are regulated by other laws.

                  If you had read the draft law, you would not have asked stupid questions, which you consider to be extremely successful and subtle jokes addressed to me.

                  The indigenous people of Ukraine is an autochthonous ethnic community that has formed on the territory of Ukraine, is a bearer of a distinctive language and culture, has traditional social, cultural or representative bodies, is aware of itself as an indigenous people of Ukraine, is an ethnic minority within the population and has no state education outside of Ukraine.

                  I highlighted it in bold especially for you. Now do you understand why there are no Ukrainians in the law? But there are no Russians there either, who, on the contrary, are a national minority living on the territory of modern Ukraine for many centuries.

                    I read the definition you gave back when this law came out :)

                    Now you understand, why are there no Ukrainians in the law?? But there are no Russians there either, who are just a national minority living on the territory of modern Ukraine for many centuries.

                    And what's the difference, for what reason, the law does not indicate Ukrainians, and for what reason - Russians?) and Russians (since they have their own national state).

                    It is even simpler: according to this law, neither Russians nor Ukrainians are "indigenous people", albeit according to different criteria.

                    And this has nothing to do with your first claim that this law infringes upon someone's rights, has nothing. You said that everyone who is not mentioned in the law is infringed on their rights. I show you that there is no infringement of rights. There is an accentuation of the law on the rights of a specific category of the population.

                        And the Russians were just considered in it, because they are a national minority and generally fit the designated criteria, namely:

                        an autochthonous ethnic community, which has formed on the territory of Ukraine, is a bearer of an original language and culture, has traditional social, cultural or representative bodies, recognizes itself as an indigenous people of Ukraine, is an ethnic minority in the population

                        Only with the exception that there is a state formation Russia. That is why I said that the Kiev authorities are directly hinting that the Russians, who are not satisfied with something in Ukraine, can leave it in the direction of the Russian Federation.

                        So the Ukrainians fit this definition, with the exception of two points - the number and the presence of their own state.

                        That is why I said that the Kiev authorities are directly hinting that the Russians, who are not satisfied with something in Ukraine, can leave it in the direction of the Russian Federation.

                        Sexual orientation is just sexual orientation
                        There is no such thing as "sexual orientation".
                        There is - gender (there are two of them) and there is - c-orientation - their cart and a small cart.

                        There was no change of shoes.

                        I used the concept of "sexual orientation" because on the Reporter, comments containing the word "s.sk.su.a.l.n.a.ya." are blocked.

                        Therefore, I used the combination "sexual orientation" as a synonym for the concept of "s.c.su.a.l.y.n.a. orientation". And, in principle, it is correct, because the Latin word sexus, from which the English sex comes from, translates as "sex" or "sexual".

                        I wrote about this to you immediately, as soon as you allegedly "caught" me in the "wrong" use of terminology. Don't you read my comments either?

                        I would be glad to use the terms in their usual sound, but the Reporter, in the worst traditions of the "Western tolerators", whom he so vehemently denounces, prohibits the use of a neutral scientific term.

                        So the question is not for me, but for the site administration.

                        Now you declare that it is not you, but "someone" who is confused in concepts?)

                        Yes, that's exactly what I say. Specifically, not "someone", but a user with the nickname Bakht, who constantly confused g.o.s.s.s.s.su.a.l.n.o.s.t. (orientation) with tr.a.n.s.s.s.s.s.su.a.l.n.o.s.t.yu (belonging, identity).

                        Yes?) Well let's see what you said. Quote times:

                        Strictly speaking, no matter what nontraditional people say about themselves, biologically they remain men and women. And here sexual orientation, that is, who they feel they are - this is precisely a deviation from the norm. That is, to them specifically to a psychiatrist. After Napoleon. So the comparison is quite legitimate.

                        sexual orientation is not who they feel they are, but who they are attracted to. Don't you feel the difference?)

                        Quote two:

                        The difference between a man and a woman lies in the chromosomes. And this is not questioned by anyone. And then that someone considers himself to be not who nature created him, makes him mentally abnormal.

                        - this was your answer to my comment, in which I spoke about g.o.s.s.s.s.s.a.l.h, not TRAn. s.s.s.s.s.s.a.l.h

                        Quote three:

                        In 2009, the American Psychiatric Association (APA) challenged the decision of the World Health Organization, which did not recognize homosexualism disease. According to APA experts, if a person begins to consider himself a representative of the opposite sex, about him we can say that he suffers from "gender dysphoria"

                        Don't make a smart face.

                        I don’t make it like that - it’s smart in itself. Just because I'm smart myself.

                        This is not the right topic. But I can say that if a person is attracted to his gender, this is sexual orientation. I read Wikipedia. But unlike you, I read other sources. After all, there are people who end up experiencing sexual satisfaction from masturbation. A man feels like a woman and wants to co-buy with a man. Call it what you want, but this person is mentally abnormal.

                        This means that they did not read well, since they confused (and continue to confuse) the concepts.

                        This is not an orientation. Any person experiences satisfaction from her.

                        A man feels like a woman and wants to co-buy with a man.

                        And if he feels like a man, but wants to copulate with a man?

                        You are lumping together again two different concepts - "gender identity" and "sscsswallna my orientation." It will never reach you.

                        This is just aggressive propaganda of an abnormal lifestyle.

                        What the aggression consists of, they did not say.

                        And what is it called - for me personally it does not matter.

                        Moreover, it doesn't even matter to you what it really is. What is important for you - I have already noted above.

      Then why in Ukraine the state language is Ukrainian, if the Ukrainians in this law are not the indigenous inhabitants of Ukraine? It was not the native language that became the state language, isn't it strange? Moreover, Ukrainian is not the language of the majority.

        Then why in Ukraine the state language is Ukrainian, if the Ukrainians in this law are not the indigenous inhabitants of Ukraine?

        Because the status of the language is regulated by another legislative act, and not by the one discussed in this topic.

        It was not the native language that became the state language, isn't it strange?

        Not weird. In Russia, for example, in the Republic of Karelia, the only state language is Russian. The indigenous Karelian, Finnish and Vepsian languages ​​are not state languages. In Udmurtia, the Udmurt language has an unclear status - either the state language, or not.

    But the Ukrainians have more freedom in their heads, and in the Russian Federation the people were persecuted

    therefore, you will soon be assigned the language in which they will be required to think (which they are required to hum - they have already been assigned) wassat and by the shape of the skull they will determine who is indigenous and who is not very - you have to follow the law

    This is from an excess of freedom. and the KP was banned from - that God forbid they would not vote for those they want wassat - free slaves were strictly pointed to the frame of the stall in the barn

    And also the free herd surrenders the tax to the war, which does not exist. And it doesn't even squeak. Raising the tariff by 1000%? There is nothing that the slaves could not endure.

    This is true freedom. The funny thing is that they were told that this is freedom - and they believe, because critical thinking is like a clown, more precisely, like the president of ukraine

    PS guess who chooses the judges for these slaves?)

    On July 14, the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine adopted in the second and third readings Law No. 5068, according to which foreigners gained control over the High Council of Justice.

    right, the slaves of the judges are appointed by the white people. Who did not stain themselves with the quality of the rotten Ukrainian material - from which all life is molded for them)

                    And I told you that your question is meaningless, because "age" is not a defining criterion for the concept of "nation".

                    and why did you decide that this is a nation?

                    And you just asked this question now. And now he is better, so I answer.

                    Definition of the concept of "nation": "Historically sustainable community of people that emerged on the basis common language, territory, economic life and mental warehouse, manifested in community of culture"

                    We look at the Ukrainians. Do you have a common language? There is. Do you have a common area? There is. Is there a common economic life with its own specifics? There is. Is there a commonality of culture? there is.

                    By all criteria, Ukrainians are a nation.

                    )

                    Therefore, it is quite natural that you did not receive an answer to your meaningless question. Know how to ask questions - you will get answers to them.

                    Are you surprised?)

                        Because "Russian" is a nationality, and "Russian" is a nation.

                        Just "Russian" - this is the designation of the nation. And everything is correct - a Dagestani or a Buryat is also a Russian, a representative of the Russian nation. But at the same time, he remains a Dagestan or Buryat and is not Russian.

                        The concepts of "nation" and "nationality" are different concepts. At your age, it is time to understand this already.

                        So, one more time. A bit of theory.

                        There are 2 concepts. The first is "nationality", the second is "nation".

                        The difference between them is that "nationality" means a cultural-ethnic group of people, and "nation" is more political. Nationalities appeared much earlier than nations. Nations are a relatively young phenomenon (and a concept) (on a historical scale). They began to take shape at the moment when large centralized states began to form, uniting several ethnic groups into one community. It is the unification of the borders of a common state that distinguishes the "nation" from the "people". A nation cannot exist without its own state, a people can.

                        For example, until the 16th century there was no such thing as "French", "French nation". At that time, the inhabitants inhabiting the territory of modern France identified themselves as Lombards, Alsatians, Bretons, etc., but did not identify themselves as part of the larger community of "French". Such a concept simply did not exist at that time. The same was the case on the territory that we today call Great Britain (the British nation was finally formed after the union of the British and Scots), Germany (the German nation as such did not exist before Bismarck).

                        But when the process of centralization of power began, when large and relatively stable political formations (states) began to appear, then nations began to take shape. The French, which united the Bretons with the Lombards, etc., the British, which united the British, Welsh, Welsh, Scots, etc., the Russian, which united the Russians with the Karelians, Caucasians, etc.

                        It also happens that a nation consists of only one ethnic community. For example, the Japanese nation is 98% ethnic Japanese (although they also have Ryukyus, which are a separate ethnic group, there are simply very few of them). In such cases, a nation and a nationality will denote the same community of people. In the case of, say, the French, "nation" and "nationality" will be different. It all depends on how each particular nation has developed historically.

                        I hope I clearly stated.

                        Now directly to your example with Kolomoisky, etc.

                        Kolomoisky may be ethnically Jewish and at the same time belong to the Ukrainian nation. Just like Shoigu, being an ethnic Buryat (it seems), is a representative of the Russian nation.

                        What is it that anyone who lives in / in Ukraine automatically becomes a Ukrainian by nationality?

                        Not. He must not only live in Ukraine, but also identify himself as a Ukrainian, a representative of the Ukrainian nation. This self-identification includes, first of all, language proficiency, knowledge of the culture and history of one's country and one's nation, and, what is important, an awareness of one's belonging to this culture and history.

                        Then why do you think that an Evenk cannot be Russian by nationality?

                        The concept of "Russian" is a little more complicated due to the peculiarities of the use of this word in Russian.

                        "Russians" (Rus, Ross) - initially it is precisely an ethnonym, that is, the designation of a nationality. Then, when the Russian state began to expand and include other tribes, a "Russian nation" began to take shape, including not only the Russians themselves (Rus, Ross), but also other nationalities - especially if these nationalities, due to the natural process of cultural exchange partially or completely adopt the culture of the Russians.

                        Therefore, from the point of view of ethnography and political science, it is correct to speak of a nation not as “Russians” and “Russian nation”, but as “Russian nation” or “Russians”. But in the common language these concepts did not take root - in ordinary communication we apply the same concept of "Russians" both directly to Russians (nationality) and to all residents of the Russian Federation (nation). Therefore, it turns out that we can have Russians as a Buryat or a Chechen, even if they have little in common with Russian culture.

                        The same thing happens in our language with other ethnonyms. For example, we often say "English" or "Anglo-Saxons" in relation to the British, although the British nation, in addition to the Anglo-Saxon (Germanic) people, includes Celts by origin, Scots, Welsh, Northern Irish, Welsh, etc.

                        Therefore, when I said in one of the comments that the Buryats cannot be Russian (but they are Russian), I used the term "Russian" precisely in its strict scientific vein.

                        Therefore, no double standards. But I admit that I may have misused the term "Russian" in some commentary. Simply because, in ordinary communication, I am also used to using this concept to all people inhabiting the Russian Federation.

                        There is one more point in terms of the relationship between ethnic and national identity of a person. For example, a person, say, was born in the same Buryatia, but moved early, for example, to Moscow. Accordingly, he grew up among Russians, he could forget or not use his language, he could not profess Buddhism or local traditional beliefs. In other words, there is no way to identify oneself as Buryats. In this case, yes, we can say that he will be Russian, despite even his anthropological differences from typical Russians (Buryats, let me remind you, Mongoloids).

                        And that is precisely why the Ukrainian nation exists, despite the fact that it is composed of "Westerners", Rusyns, Galicians and other nationalities with their own ethnic characteristics (dialect, religion, etc.). This is what I was trying to convey to my opponent.

    The East Slavic population is indeed indistinguishable by ethnicity. The difference is in the perception of the world. The graves of the soldiers and officers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, who have died since 2014, do not allow the tale of "one people" to develop. People who speak Russian do not have to be in love with the totalitarian regime of their northeastern neighbors. The people of Ukraine are accustomed to the fact that leaders can be regularly changed. 20 years on the throne, without the prospect of replacement - this is unacceptable for the citizens of Ukraine. Ukraine is accustomed to a multi-party system and democracy.

    The lands of the Novorossiysk Territory of Great Russia were freed from the Turks by A.V. Suvorov with
    Russian Victorious Army and Catherine the Great ordered to build Odessa,
    and to this day the most beautiful Russian city!
    And the "maxims" of the stranger, who came to the journalists' hands, about "turtles" are an insignificant arithmetic error for a city with a million inhabitants!

    Controversy ...
    To begin with, I want to say right away that President Putin is wrong. The Ukrainian and the Russian are not fraternal peoples, but enemies. Ukraine was created by General Hoffman.
    Second point. Comparing the two laws on small nations, the difference is immediately apparent. Russian law creates the basis for the development of small peoples. Ukrainian assumes discrimination against them. It is no coincidence that only representatives of the Crimea are included in small peoples.
    The third point is more complicated. Russian and Ukrainian have different languages, different cultures, due to the efforts of the Ukrainian authorities, they have no common economic ties. They have a diametrically opposite view of history. Recently, religion has also separated them. Question. Why does a Russian (Hungarian, Romanian, Jew) suddenly become Ukrainian? Russians in Ukraine are NOT Ukrainians. If a Tatar in Russia is not Russian, then a Russian in Ukraine is NOT a Ukrainian either.
    Who are they? Following the example of the Baltic States, one can say -natural citizens of Ukraine.
    Ukraine, as a state, is an enemy of Russia, and the sooner Russia realizes this, the better. Ukraine can only be a federal non-aligned neutral state, or not at all.
